UNBELIEVABLE! In a season already full of improbable comebacks, this one takes the cake.

It truly was the tale of two halves for Boston: after trailing 62-38, Boston climbed all the way back to outscore Houston by a total of 61-36 in the second half to squeak out the victory. Final Score, 99-98.

The Game Flow

Houston started the game as hot as possible, having drilled their first couple of three attempts, and adding an easy three shots made at the rim. The Celtics, conversely, answered by starting the game 0 for 5, complete with terrible decision making and a couple of early turnovers.
